Notes:

The MSC will be billed quarterly in arrears and will arrive with your regular WaterNSW bill

Should you have a concern regarding the accuracy of the meter, in the first instance please call the WaterNSW helpdesk on 1300 662 077. If you then elect to have your meter tested, a deposit of $1,750 is payable prior
to testing. The deposit will be refunded in full, should your meter be proved inaccurate. If the meter is found to be within accuracy standards then the total meter accuracy testing charge be billed. The total meter accuracy testing charge
is $4,468.52 for verification and testing in situ (an additional $2,718.52 on top of the deposit) and $6,686.65 for lab verification and testing (an additional $4,936.65 on top of the deposit).

The IPART has determined an Environmental Gauging Station charge of $12,209.09 per site. IPART determined this charge based on the capital costs of upgrading environmental gauging stations and the incremental cost of operating the upgraded stations.
WaterNSW may only levy an environmental gauging station charge from the time that 1) the relevant gauging station has been identified as having reached end of life and as requiring upgraded metering equipment to allow a higher grade of metering
so as to satisfy the Environmental Water Measurement Standards and 2) the upgrade of the gauging station has commenced.

* the fixed availability charge assumes one large customer in the Greater Sydney catchment area (i.e Sydney Water Corporation). If the large customer base expands during the 2016-20 determination period, then the fixed availability charge will be levied on each large customer in proportion of their share of total water delivered to large customers in the Greater Sydney catchment area.

** Assumes SDP delivers the maximum amount per month (7,500 MLs) as per clause 3 of the determination document. If the volume of water delivered by SDP is less than 7,500 MLs, then the volumetric charge is scaled down in proportion to the actual volume of water deliver by SDP. The actual volume of water delivered by SDP must be notified to WaterNSW by all large customers no later than 5 business days after the end of the relevant month.

*** The charges above exclude Shoalhaven transfer costs, which are recovered through an additional volumetric charge determined under clause 3, 4 and 5 of the determination document. Shoalhaven transfer costs are determined by reference to factors such as the average flow rate per hour from Burrawang Pumping Station and the NSW regional reference price reported by AEMO.

Application Fees for Water Access Licences, Dealings and Approvals

WaterNSW charges fees to cover the assessment and processing costs of applications for access licences, water supply work approvals, water use approvals and access licence dealings lodged under the Water Management Act 2000.

These fees are determined by the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART).
The fees applying from 1 July 2018 until 30 June 2019 are listed in the following table, according to whether applications are lodged online or not. These fees will increase annually, based on changes in the consumer price index. Fees are exempt from GST.

Note to table

A 'new’ work approval means any work proposed which is not currently listed on a water approval or is replacing an existing work which is listed on a water approval.
*Note that forms are sent directly to these holders.

Impact and rules-based assessments

Applications generally require a detailed impact assessment. This includes case by case investigation to consider potential local impacts and determine whether those impacts require refusal or consent, or consent subject to conditions.

Depending on thetype of transaction, impact assessment can include identifying and addressing impacts on adjoining pumps or bores, Aboriginal heritage sites, native vegetation, threatened species, wetlands, land degradation, salinity, soil compaction, geomorphic instability, hydrology, water logging, acidity, contamination and water quality, in addition to consideration and resolution of any lodged objections. In some cases where significant risks are identified, WaterNSW may require the applicant to commission third-party experts to determine the extent of those risks and how they might be mitigated.

Applications determined by IPART which are identified as ‘low risk’ are processed with a rules-based assessment which does not require the above detailed impact assessment.
Lower fees are charged for transactions which are identified as ‘low risk’.
